We also go back and talk about a cute memory of Friday night that...

Cue Moby and grab your tissues, because it’s time to talk about the deaths on Stranger Things. We thought this topic would be appropriate for the spooky season, and we pour one out for those we’ve lost along the way.

Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Billy Hargrove is one of the most complex and compelling characters in Stranger Things.
